Family Triumph: Adolfo and Mia Cambiaso Shine in Historic British Open Polo Victory

Polo legend Adolfo Cambiaso clinched his ninth British Open Gold Cup at the weekend, with an extraordinary highlight—his 23-year-old daughter Mia Cambiaso was by his side, marking her achievement as the first Argentine woman to claim this significant honor.

The 50-year-old maestro led his team La Dolfina/Scone to a 9-8 victory against the French newcomers Kazak at Cowdray Park, watched by a crowd of over 8,000. This victory not only added to Cambiaso's impressive record, but also distinguished him as a player who has lifted the trophy with two of his children, previously doing so with son Poroto in 2020.

The thrilling match saw Mia Cambiaso become just the third woman to win the Gold Cup, also earning the title of Most Valuable Player. A dramatic twist occurred when Adolfo Cambiaso suffered three broken fingers, forcing his exit two minutes before the game concluded with a narrow lead.
